skimmer question

i always wondered why people ran two skimmers, considering there are people out there who don't run skimmers at all or run their skimmers only part time.

Waste of room and electricity, and adds needless complexity to an already complex reef support system IMHO. Get one good one and be done with it. The diminishing returns that you get from the second skimmer do not justify the downsides.

Seems like an odd thing to do, bottom line is two wrongs don't make a right.

read once reasoning for 2 skimmer was there is a interruption in skimate production after cleaning. I'll still stay with my single.
